Lyrics
BUTTERFLY
Butterfly, how do you do
I wonder what its like to live like you?
'Cause butterfly you're making my day
With your here and there, stop...... then fly away
Butterfly, I wonder who taught you
To do those special things that you do
Kiss on a flower, dance in the rain
Flap your wings again and again
No more crawling around
Not on the tree stump, not on the ground
Your big wide world goes up to the sky
Whenever you want you can fly, fly, fly
Shoo shoo, butterfly
Thank you for showing me
That maybe a butterfly is what I ought to be
Get up off the ground, take off and be free
So I can find the butterfly in me.....repeat the verse
